Hello! I have 2 questions: 1) does this pillow get hot? 2) other brands have different sizes - is this good for small and large people alike?

I think it is better for kids. My 14 year old uses this one (has since he was 12). He gets serious neck pain (cramps) from large fluffy pillows that elevate his head too much. He is slim. The pillow has helped him 100% with his neck pain. My husband who is also slim uses a different pillow that has a wider neck support.It is not at all hot.

I found the pillow much too soft for me and gave it to my 12 year old grandson. He loves it and hasn't said it is too hot. Size would be appropriate for anyone except for the too soft problem for me. Hope this helps.

it usually doesn't get hot and i am a small person and it fits me well. i usually use the flatter side because i prefer a flat pillow. overall it is a great pillow. i usually go through lots of pillows to find one thats just right, and after a day or two, i toss them out of bed. it's been months since i purchased this one, and i am still sleeping on it every night. hope this helps.

1) nope, it's just like any other pillow 2) it's great for people of different sizes. It's a normal, as-expected size in general so if can accommodate different people. In fact, both of my parents use it as well (I got them started on orthopedic pillows :P). My dad is bigger than my mom but they both like their pillows

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I get hot flashes and I sleep on this pillow. I've not found it to be hot or somehow contribute to the hot felling I experience from time to time. Hope this helps.

I found it to stay much cooler than normal pillows. I live in southern Louisiana and the pillow doesn't get hot even in super hot nights. I never shift in the night because my head gets hot after I got this pillow.

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

The pillow actually ended up being too large for me. I am petite 5'2" and it pushed my neck too far forward. For an average size or larger adult it might be ok. I am currently out of town so cannot measure the exact thickness, but it is quite thick in the center as well as the wing sides. The center of the pillow was also too wide for me and extremely firm. I ended up using one as a lumbar support in my office chair and the other as neck support when I do floor exercises. I hope this helps!

I'm a 5'4" woman and the anatomical pillow is great for me. I'm mostly a side sleeper but also sleep on my back. The neck supports are slightly different heights so you can choose which is best for you.

We would say it does. At least, it never gets hot. You can always go to the other end of the pillow. It's big.

For this particular pillow, I thought that it only came in soft. Does yours look like the one pictured? Yours should feel like a memory foam. If not, or if you just don't like it, then I'd look into returning/exchanging it. Good luck!

Sometimes it does get to hot for me. I have had mine for two years and am not thrilled that the coolness is not consistent but in general I like the pillow and support provided.

No, my face and head does not get hot with this pillow. I love this pillow, however, my daughter uses the same pillow and she gets hot.

My memory foam bed is too hot! Will this keep me cool on top of memory foam? My bamboo pillow doesn't stay cool, and gets hot after awhile too.

All of my guests say it's a great mattress, I've had both male and female guests of different ages and sizes- consensus is it's really a good mattress, but because of the low price people don't want to believe it. No one said it was hot, I think that's mainly a memory foam problem.

It doesn't get hot for me. Thanks to some crazy 40 hormones, I can get pretty hot, but this pillow has never contributed to that. ;)

I've tried other brands which are less, but NONE react to your body and give you the support as well the softness. That is the only brand of pillow in our home. You won't regret it if you buy Temperpedic, Promise :) Deeann

I love this pillow. It does not make my head hot. Although my last pillow was memory foam and it didn't make my head hot either. You might just work differently than me.
